Economics, Natural-Resource Scarcity and Development (Routledge Revivals): Conventional and Alternative Views

By Edward B. Barbier

Book Overview

First published in 1989, this book outlines an economic approach to the use of natural resources and particularly to the problem of environmental degradation. Edward Barbier reviews and critiques the long past of environmental and resource economics and then goes on to elaborate an economics which allows us to develop alternative strategies for dealing with the problems faced. With examples drawn from Latin America and Indonesia, he not only develops a major theoretical advance but shows how it can be applied.
